The benefits of bathing have been known since ancient times. Since then, each nation has developed its own, hotly revered bathing tradition, and in Russia baths were a familiar sign of the rural landscape. Modern country life It is also difficult to imagine without the joy of visiting a bath. On the personal plot you can see a sauna that has become familiar, and a more exotic hammam. But, despite the familiarity with the customs of other cultures, the majority prefers the traditional Russian bath.
To please themselves with a good rest and increase their health, the owners build baths of various designs and materials. Practical owners strive to build a multifunctional bath, which could become not only a decoration of the site and a health center, but also perform additional functions. More than others, baths made of timber with an attic are suitable for this.

Material selection
A bath with an attic and a terrace is built, as a rule, from wood, the most common options are:
Log baths. Traditionally, baths (and other buildings) in Russia were built from chopped log, most available material. Such designs still exist, but they are not very common due to their features: labor-intensive manual processing logs, high cost quality log, long shrinkage and significant shrinkage. Nevertheless, projects of baths with an attic from this material are presented in a wide range. A steam room made of hand-crafted logs will be of higher quality compared to a building made of rounded logs (which, however, depends on the skill of the hired carpenters), but will cost 40-50% more.
Panel (frame) baths. They are valued for the speed of assembly and economy during construction - they do not need a massive foundation. But such a building needs high-quality insulation and finishing, the costs of which can offset the savings. Therefore, it is necessary to study well before choosing a house-bath from a bar, projects and prices - with all the details.
Baths from a glued bar. The main advantage of the material is minimal shrinkage, which allows you not to tighten using the bath for its intended purpose. The order of such a bath with a turnkey attic is carried out in the shortest possible time.

Baths from the pro-thinned-out bar. The construction pleases the eye with the impeccable form of the facade; while the bar natural humidity has its own characteristics. It can significantly deform when dried, become covered with cracks, and the shrinkage of the box for the first year will be 10-15%. Chamber-drying lumber is more expensive (at a price close to rounded logs), but the risk of deformation is minimized, and shrinkage does not exceed 3-6%. This makes kiln-drying lumber one of the most practical materials to build a bath.
Advantages and disadvantages of a bath with an attic
For such baths, instead of the usual attic, an attic floor is designed - a full-fledged living room with insulation and characteristic sloping walls. Such living space is interesting from the point of view of emerging prospects, including:
Additional square meters. The most obvious plus, allowing you to use the room for different purposes. A 5 by 5 bath with an attic can become a multifunctional building. In addition, the room will be 30-35% cheaper than a similar one in a residential building, but will be just as comfortable. The mansard (broken) roof, thanks to the vertical side gables, allows you to maximize the use of the area. Hip or gable roof less profitable, because, due to the design features, it reduces usable space.
The interior of the guest room in the attic of the bath
Saving land. Bath from a bar with an attic - profitable solution if the site has modest size, and the owners have big plans for its arrangement. Saved space can always be put to good use.
Multifunctionality. With the acquisition of the attic, the possibilities of using the bath are greatly expanded. The owners can arrange here a sports hall (which would otherwise remain in dreams), a cinema hall, equip a recreation area with a billiard table and a mini-bar. For some, it is more important to organize a guest room or a home spa. A bathhouse with an attic and a terrace will also expand the opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Originality. Historically, the design attic floor with an oblique ceiling line in itself evokes romantic thoughts about a bohemian lifestyle; therefore, it is especially pleasant to relax and communicate here. The unusual situation can be emphasized by decorating the attic in the appropriate style. Luxurious oriental motifs, airy Provence with wicker furniture or the atmosphere of a closed yacht club look impressive. The effect is enhanced by windows installed in the roof, a podium instead of a bed and light through shelving. If the choice fell on a house-bath, projects with an attic are the most rational solution.

Projects of baths with an attic also have some disadvantages:
The question of isolation. The upper floor of the bath house with an attic needs careful protection from moisture, which is provided by a layer of vapor barrier in the ceiling. The layer will keep thermal insulation and building structure without letting it develop molds and harmful microorganisms.
The issue of insulation. If you plan to use the attic floor year-round, it will have to be thoroughly insulated.
The question of complexity of construction. The steeper the roof slopes, the more usable area under it. The best option would be a broken (mansard) roof, but it will cost more.

Bath with an attic: features of projects and layouts
In modest baths (3x4 or 4x4 m), it is unprofitable to arrange an attic floor; expansion is suitable for them due to the arrangement of a terrace or veranda. However, baths with an attic and a veranda are of particular interest. You can save money on construction if the bath has dimensions of 6x4, 6x6, 6x8 m and more. In this case, the total area can reach 60-80 m 2, and the project provides for:
On the first floor: open terrace, entrance hall, dressing room (lounge), washing room and steam room. It is more convenient to place a ladder for climbing to the second floor in the hallway so as not to clutter up other rooms.
On the attic floor: entrance hall, lounge (or room with other purpose), pantry.
Balcony. A 6x6 project (and more) may include a balcony. Many homeowners love the idea of space for summer holiday with leisurely tea drinking in the fresh air.

On our website you can find contacts of construction companies that offer. You can directly communicate with representatives by visiting the exhibition of houses "Low-Rise Country".
The most popular option is a 6x6 bathhouse with a turnkey attic, which is inexpensive and allows you to comfortably accommodate a family or a noisy friendly company. The device of the bath can vary from project to project, for example, a dressing room is often combined with a relaxation room (if the attic is intended for other purposes). The rest of the rooms are equipped as follows:
Dressing room. It contains a small Auxiliary room, which can be used as a dressing room and / or storage for firewood.
Steam room. A two-tiered shelf and a sauna stove of a suitable size are arranged here. Windows are traditionally made small.
Washing. Usually a shower tray is installed, a wooden (from oak, larch or cedar) or plastic (with an antibacterial coating) font.
Steam room in a log bath
Restroom. For complete relaxation better fit wooden floor, soft diffused light, comfortable furniture and pastel colors.
Bathroom. The modern requirement for comfort; for a full-fledged bathroom, 1.5-2 m 2 is enough.
Swimming pool. The dream of many bath owners. Rejecting the terrace and slightly reducing the area of \u200b\u200bthe other rooms, you can treat yourself to such luxury.
Terrace. If it is glazed, it can be used to relax in the rainy and cold season. Lanterns look good here as a decorative element.

Attic floor: construction features
A bath with a turnkey attic will cost inexpensively compared to a full-fledged two-story structure. Customers are attracted by the opportunity to save money without losing convenience and functionality. It is best when an additional floor is planned during design, then the calculation load-bearing structures will be as accurate as possible. Otherwise, inevitable difficulties will arise with the addition of a staircase (most likely, a screw model will be successful) and windows (in some types of roofs it is inconvenient to mount windows).

Staircase to the attic
Owners building attic bath independently, often fall into two extremes in the construction of stairs. It turns out either prohibitively large, and then eats up precious space, or (with the best of intentions) prohibitively steep. The descent along such a structure turns into an amusing, but injury-prone attraction. And if the exit point of the stairs rests on a sloping wall, then you should take care of your head.
There are several ways to make a staircase not only functional, but also a convenient (and preferably beautiful) interior detail. Of the variety of stairs that exist in nature for a bath, the following options are familiar:
Marching staircase. Depending on the allocated area, it can be one- or two-march. Such designs are the most familiar, easy to manufacture and therefore the most common. Meet marching stairs on stringers, on bowstrings or bolts; the main thing for them is the correct calculation of the parameters of the steps and the distances between them.
Classic two-flight staircase
Spiral staircase. A winning option for a bath, as it takes up a small area, costs less and looks very impressive. Compared to the sustainer, the screw design has a steeper angle of elevation and a smaller width of steps, which is potentially more traumatic.
The recent trend has been the construction of a wooden single-flight staircase with a steep angle (35-45 °) and proportions tied to medium length step. This option, borrowed from the construction techniques of the Scandinavian countries, allows you to make the stairs to the attic as convenient and safe as possible.

Communications
The classical Russian banya had no communications and, like all medieval buildings, was heated in a black way. Firewood was brought from a nearby forest, and water was taken from a river or a well. Modern house-bath - projects with an attic and ordinary steam rooms are connected to all communications, which allow you to enjoy the process in comfortable conditions. All necessary networks are provided at the design stage and include:
Water supply. The source can be a centralized or autonomous system, well or well. Sometimes a large storage tank is installed.
Electricity. Electricity is used for more than just lighting. It feeds the boiler, the pump (if the supply water is coming from the well), electric furnace and Appliances, from the kettle to the TV. IN modern projects often arrange a warm floor.
The forced ventilation system is also powered by electricity.
Gas. Instead of an electric boiler, you can install a gas boiler. Water heating will be more economical, but you will need to invite a specialist to install the boiler.
Sewerage and drainage system. If central system missing, a septic tank is used for draining.
Ventilation. A system that increases the life of the building and maintains the necessary sanitary norms; can be natural (through an open window, which is often not enough) and forced. Ventilation is needed not only in the steam room, where steam accumulates, carbon monoxide from the stove and carbon dioxide exhaled by people. Air circulation is important both in the relaxation room and in the washing room with a shower.

And for those who are not motivated by the desire to create something, to build with their own hands, it is better to attract the appropriate specialists.
Limited opportunities everyone who has decided to build a bath is determined by its size, the area of \u200b\u200beach room, the number of storeys, the presence of an attic and a terrace. A family with average incomes usually erects a one-story bath building with total area from 25 to 35 m2 with an attic floor.

- toilet.
Tambour, dressing room, dressing room, can successfully replace. And for relaxation, an attic room, equipped accordingly, is quite suitable.
The construction of the bath begins with laying the foundation. He happens different types, but tape was widely used. It is usually laid on difficult soils, especially during the construction of a two-story building. And for brick oven it must be separate, autonomous. Because its subsidence will not coincide with the shrinkage of the entire building.
Before building walls concrete base lay the roofing material in two layers. 
If a log cabin was bought in disassembled form, then its laying is simple and understandable. All numbered parts are assembled following the attached instructions.
For the construction of bath walls use:
- wood processed only on two sides (carriage);
- glued timber;
- rounded log;
- brick;
- gas blocks.

The project of a bath with an attic floor should also include the development of a vapor barrier system. Otherwise gender attic space will be favorable humid environment for mold and mildew.
To make it comfortable to climb to the second floor after the steam room, the stairs are placed inside the building. For greater security, it is preferable that it has a railing. It should be given attention, equipped so that it is an attractive enough design element.

Attic
This is a room that is equipped in the attic of a residential building. Today it is very popular as a supplement usable space for housing or business purposes. In a residential building, in a country house or in a bathhouse attic floor often used as a rest room.
good to have a two-story bath. But it is more economically profitable to build it one-story with an insulated attic, which in terms of functionality can be in no way inferior to the second floor. The popularity of the attic floor is explained by the following:
- Its equipment is cheaper than the construction of the second floor.
- It significantly increases the total usable area of the building.
- Allows you to reduce heat transfer through the roof.
- It can be equipped without the use of heavy lifting equipment on an already functioning sauna building, using its infrastructure.
An example of the arrangement and interior of the attic floor in the bath There are also some disadvantages of the attic in the bath attic:
- Requires increased waterproofing and ventilation of the room;
- On inclined skylights possible accumulation of snow;
- It has low walls due to sloping ceilings.
However, creative owners successfully use the unusual geometry of space. They equip narrowing niches with various shelves, bookcases, decorative elements. Do not be afraid of load-bearing roof beams. They are perceived as original design room design.
The attic above the bath differs from the usual floor of the building in the temperature and humidity conditions in this room. A lot of steam and heat penetrate here from below. That's why interfloor overlap must have a foil or film vapor barrier at the bottom. Then the insulation is laid, and the finishing floor is on top. To finish the ceiling of the bath, lining is used. 
Again, everything wooden structures baths should be carefully treated with antiseptics.
It is better to plan, as well as start the construction of the attic, together with. Then it will endure general style the buildings. And during the construction process, solutions may arise that were not foreseen by the project. Their implementation at this stage will do without any problems. Unforeseen ideas are often born about the device attic stairs. In addition, at the design stage of a bath with attic room it is possible to calculate the system of supporting structures as accurately as possible.
Despite the fact that Norwegian gun carriage baths are not as common as other construction methods chopped baths, they have a number of advantages and significant advantages. How construction material, Norwegian carriage represents a log with two removed opposite planes. When laying, the flat sides are front, which creates a unique neat and aesthetic look, combined with the originality and tradition of a wooden frame.
Features of the Norwegian carriage and construction stages
- The construction of a bathhouse from a carriage involves the use of logs of various dimensions, ranging from 6 m in length. On the upper sides of the log, special wedge-shaped grooves are cut down, which allow you to securely connect individual elements. During the assembly process, a thick layer of insulation is laid in them. At the same time, the castle of the Norwegian bath from the gun carriage is considered one of the most effective in terms of heat saving. Among other things, the finished structure is self-locking, again, thanks to the peculiar shape of the groove, which only makes the structure stronger over time. The specific processing of the log and the Norwegian lock make it possible to completely avoid twisting of the structural elements, as well as protect them from the formation of through cracks over time.
- Prior to the assembly of the Norwegian bath, Vityaz-Stroy specialists carefully select and prepare wood. The logs that have passed the control for compliance with the requirements of the standards are debarked and treated with antiseptic compounds. Special attention at the same time, it is given to the ends, cuts and grooves in which the processing has violated the integrity of the structure. Measurements allow for a competent sorting of logs for chopped baths from a gun carriage (which log is more suitable for which crown), as well as to remove various surface defects, including outgrowths and protrusions. Upon completion of all stages of preparation for construction site base is held preliminary log house assembly.
- Specialists assemble the bath from the gun carriage, then all structural elements are marked according to the drawings and the building is dismantled. In a simplified form, we can say that it remains to assemble the Norwegian bath on the spot like a designer, which allows minimizing the amount of debris (chips) directly at the customer's site. This stage is typical for most methods of building houses. manual felling. Already at the pre-assembly stage, structural elements such as pins, dowels and wooden nails from solid wood. All equipment allows you to give additional strength and rigidity to the structure, as well as to avoid deformation and twisting of the gun carriage during drying and shrinkage.
Norwegian bath from a gun carriage: advantages and disadvantages
1 Positive sides the construction of baths from a gun carriage begins with aesthetics. The visual image of the building in this style combines modernity and clarity of lines with the luxury and naturalness of traditional chopped houses and baths. At the same time, straight walls, characteristic of the Norwegian felling, are convenient for laying communications, whether it be cables, pipes or wires. In addition, the Norwegian carriage, like any hand-cut log, requires minimum finish: it will be enough to paint the walls with an antiseptic and, just for the sake of a variety of colors in the rooms in the bath, additionally cover the walls with tinted varnish on water based. Also, flat smooth walls Norwegian bath the best way suitable for efficient distribution of space and increase the usable area indoors.
2 One of the remarkable properties of the gun carriage baths is the thickness of the walls. The height of the processed logs reaches 350 mm (the distance between the unsawn sides of the log), which reduces the number of crowns, and, accordingly, the joints that need to be sealed. The thickness of the walls (the distance between the sawn sides of the carriage) in this case reaches 240-280 millimeters. But, small size do not reduce low thermal conductivity, which is due to the shape of the lock and good insulation, which is traditionally laid at the joints of logs in the grooves. Chopped bath from the gun carriage, with minimum thickness walls, similar in its characteristics to a 40 cm brick wall.
3 In a Norwegian bath all year round a comfortable microclimate is maintained, thanks to the use of natural breathable materials. Often, pine, larch and spruce are used to build a bathhouse from a gun carriage. An important property softwood is its environmental friendliness and medicinal properties. If, when kindling a bath from artificial materials carcinogens can be released, then a chopped coniferous log fills the air with antioxidants, phytoncides and aromas of resins that are beneficial to human health.
4 The construction of baths from a gun carriage is also beneficial from an economic point of view. Naturally, when thinner walls and the number of crowns, they are easier to deliver, and processing will eventually cost less. In addition, the weight of the entire structure is minimal, so a particularly strong foundation is not needed, which also has a positive effect on the final cost of construction.
5 The material turns out to be very flexible in terms of building design and allows the project to be implemented hand-cut log house any complexity and style. The design projects of the Norwegian baths from the gun carriage include such functional solutions as terraces, which are convenient to cool off after the steam room. Lovers of contrasts prefer baths with a tub, which allow you to refresh yourself in the summer heat, give you energy and have a positive effect on overall health. Vityaz-Stroy specialists offer a variety of solutions in terms of design and wood used, as well as its processing techniques. At the same time, we strictly observe the process of harvesting and processing logs, which significantly extends the service life of our houses and bathhouses from a gun carriage.
